Founders are the life-blood of every company, particularly in the early stages. For us, Abhik, Anushka and Varun had a founder-market fit like no other, when they started out building Trampoline.

Abhik Ghosh, co-founder & CEO, had 8+ years of experience across Amazon and Wayfair in the hardlines and home decor category in the UK and EU markets. In his most recent role at Wayfair, he was a Commercial Director / GM in the EU business owning the home decor, textiles & rugs, and outdoor P&Ls. He felt the gnawing whitespaces on the supply side tug at his heart, and decided to take on the challenges himself.

In his own words, “Most of the magic happens at the factory shop floor and the point-of-sale. But the industry and value chain has remained archaic. Trampoline’s tech play aims to provide independent retailers the data and personalisation to efficiently curate for their stores, while equally deploying tech enabled QC/QA and supply chain solutions for our manufacturer partners”. 

He teamed with Anushka Mahanti, co-founder & CCO at Trampoline. Anushka has 8+ years of experience across strategy and marketing across Amazon UK, where she worked as the head of brand and marketing at Freevee. She also worked at Arla Foods (a $12B Danish FMCG major), where she was the category and marketing lead and headed product launches globally.

She feels that “Combining India’s endemic raw materials and craftsmanship, with a global design language, we’re making data driven decisions on catalogue breadth, depth and forecasting, enabling Trampoline to cater to global businesses at scale. Design speaks volumes, pun intended, and we already see this play out with sophisticated global retailers.” 

The team is well-rounded with co-founder and COO Varun Deo, who bolsters the sourcing and supply chain side of the business. He has 7+ years of experience across roles at Wayfair (where he was the head of the UK Decor business), and Amazon, where he worked on the launch of Amazon's specialty retail stores in the UK. Prior to that, he has also worked on overseeing sales teams on a pan India level as a part of Bharat Serums & Vaccines. 

He is obsessed with delivering the best product quality while reducing lead times for customers. "Owning quality control end-to-end, with robust factory audits and inspections ensures there are no compromises on standards. Our efficient consolidation at source enables higher flexibility and lower MOQs for customers, while our warehousing in India and the UK allow us to manage and replenish stock with agility.” 

Wishing them luck, and all the success in their journey crafting India's foremost design-led B2B brand! As always, WaterBridge Ventures is committed to being their trusted advisors and co-creators in every aspect of building this institution, from Day 1.

Very proud moment as Eloelo gets featured by The Economic Times on how Virtual gifting is changing the landscape of the creator economy

Having seen the revenue growth first hand, sharing 3 things you should take away from this:-

1. Live streaming will be the largest vertical social entertainment category with virtual gifts replacing "like, comment, share"

2. There's a new breed of Gen-II creators who exclusively live stream, speak local languages (one of our Bengali creators Dolly got featured) and prefer to connect with audiences in an authentic manner

3. Live Games, Live Astrology, Live Talent shows are all large use cases within Live streaming with micro payments facilitating high frequency transactions

🚀 We’re thrilled to finally announce we’ve raised $5 Million in seed funding, led by WaterBridge Ventures and Matrix Partners India. The round also saw participation from Alteria Capital with an additional $2 Million in venture debt. We’re geared to use the funds towards building our tech stack, doubling down on our GTM in the UK, and expanding our fantastic team!! 🚀 

We’re deeply aware of the pain points of independent retailers, as well as our manufacturer partners, and are working backwards from our customers to build a design-led, tech-enabled play, in a largely offline value chain. We’re grateful for the partnership and support from our investors and are excited for this phase of our growth! 🎉
